I've deployed numerous apps with it but I've not stretched it's limits. I
know it has some cool features.

I will say that an app I'm deploying new was having some poor performance so
asked an Apache hacker friend for some times. We removed a lot of
unnecessary apache modules and switched to the worker mpm and boosted the
performance on my baby VPS from about 35 req/sec to 59 req/sec.

After I was done these are the only mods I have enabled on my Ubuntu 10.04
server:

alias
authn_file
authz_host
cgid
deflate
env
mime
reqtimeout
rewrite
setenvif
ssl
wsgi

He told me that if I'm not using SSL that the event mpm is even faster than
the worker mpm. I didn't try it out because I do need SSL.
